Ajmal Purely Orient Vetiver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Purely Orient Vetiver opens with Bergamot and Vetiver, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Cypress, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Oud, and Saffron. Ajmal's Purely Orient Vetiver carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly gorgeous vetiver, but for the love of God, don't pay full price. It's an elevated Encre Noire for those with deep pockets and a taste for the dense, earthy, and green. Lovers are passionate, but the price tag is a common sticking point.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Purely Orient Vetiver opens with a bracing, slightly sour bergamot, quickly joined by a dry, earthy vetiver and a distinct cypress note, crafting a picture of damp, shaded woods. As it settles, patchouli deepens the green, while a touch of saffron adds a subtle, almost leathery spice. The base transitions into a smooth, creamy blend of sandalwood and musk, with a well-blended, non-dominant oud adding a rich, woody depth.
